Ashley Frazier is a multidisciplinary artist and Colorado Native. She received her BFA from Metro State University, completed her residency at RedLine Contemporary Art Center in 2018 and is recognized as one of Westword’s Colorado Creatives. Her work often explores the relationship of people and their surroundings by pairing the allure with the uncanny, alongside the natural and artificial. Pairing materials and concepts which are inherently in opposition informs her process which involves collecting and cataloging, repeating and reflecting, demolishing and reconstructing.
